Summary

Laurel Elementary School is a public elementary school located in Junction City, Oregon, serving grades K-4 with a total enrollment of 496 students. The school is part of the Junction City School District 69, which is ranked 59 out of 140 districts in Oregon and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Laurel Elementary School faces some challenges compared to nearby schools. The school has consistently high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 33.3% to 42.7% over the past few years, significantly higher than the state average and the rates of nearby schools like Territorial Elementary School (34.3%) and Harrisburg Elementary School (34.3%). Additionally, Laurel Elementary School's student performance on the OSAS (Oregon Statewide Assessment System) tests has been below the state and district averages in both English Language Arts (ELA) and Mathematics.

While Laurel Elementary School's performance for Hispanic students has been relatively strong, with a 4-star rating in the 2024-2025 school year, the school's performance for other subgroups, such as White students and Special Education students, has been lower, with 1-star and 0-star ratings, respectively, in recent years. The school's investment of $16,845 per student in the 2022-2023 school year suggests a commitment to student success, but the academic outcomes have not yet fully reflected this level of investment. Opportunities for improvement may lie in addressing chronic absenteeism and implementing targeted interventions to support student learning, especially for underperforming subgroups.
